You know, we got way, *wayyyyyyyyyyy* more Lace interactions and story in Silksong than Hornet interactions in HK; it's fairly obvious she is the next MC.

Now the question is, is that turbant thingy just a hat? Because looking at her mother, Lace could have beautiful long straight hair.

Lace is made of silk, so all the poofy white parts of her is just the silk of her poofy white body. She's like a living doll of sorts.
>>
>>539744383
Wouldn't it be neat if the spa gave you like a single charge of maggot resistance to actually justify it's existence. The spa in hollow knight was literally useless.

Every single ending is worse than if she just didn't involve herself

She never had a choice to not involve herself. Pharloom forced Hornet to be here, and Pharloom paid the price for angering a Wyrm/Weaver.

Think of it like this, Pharloom was either going to gradually rot and decay over the course of who knows how long until there was no one left but mindless suffering thralls, or Hornet could rip off the bandages now and give it's people a chance to rise from the ashes.

Just slow down or take a break. Focus on where you died and see if you can anticipate it and plan around it. You can always just look up a guide so you can anticipate the spawns. Personally I dug it but it still took me a good 30-40 minutes.
>>
>>539746580
Nah Coral Tower was fucked for me
The only saving grace is you get a shortcut after beating the first 3 gauntlets

I basically had to grit through the first 2 gauntlets
Then I spammed the cogfly + poison tools for the 3rd gauntlet when I had to cling to the walls and shit

Then the final boss of the place is KINDA easy, but he has a metric fuckton of HP

We know from the True Ending that isnt true since Ghost had a mind and will to save Hornet and Lace. Radiance would have broken out eventually from Ghost too, even though White Lady claims you are a perfect vessel (keep in mind she also thinks you are Ogrim with the right charm), the plan was always doomed.

Coral Tower was literally the highlight of my whole playthrough.

Oh right, I forgot the drill. I have that one too. I guess I'm missing one from bilewater but I have no idea which that would be
>>
>>539746348
The only one you can probably easily miss is Witch because it's a weird questline to get started
>>
>>539747084
The Void is consistently shown to be borderline impossible to work with and control, and the only way that the Radiance gets permanently disposed of is the result of every single one of the Pale King's cast off Shades teaming up to drag her screaming into the void.
The Pale King's plan was to use a far more stable vessel as a means to contain her, since actively destroying her was a reasonably ridiculous notion considering how much control over the Void you'd need to pull it off.

Also the Void Snare wouldn't have worked since the Radiance resides in a dream instead of in a physical state.

They can still be dream nailed for sovl, and I'm sure spells don't produce the sound effect despite not doing damage. Elder Baldurs produce the same sound effect too, but they have an obvious window of vulnerability.

1st phase
triple swing? attack after 3rd swing
triple rush/jump/tentacle? RUN FOR YOUR LIFE! or pogo after her rush if you wanna end the fight 5% sooner.
tentacle on ground or air? spam attack
counter attack? jump like other anon said. I made the running mistake one too many times...
2nd phase
summoning from ground? spam attack and then jump
summoning projectiles? attack while you can while not being hit
3rd phase
same as 2nd, but double jump and harpoon over waves
4th phase
dodge balls of death and repeat previous steps

attack once or twice when she is vulnerable instead of being greedy and good luck, m8

it's safe to stay in the air until she finishes the 2nd dash. if she's preparing to spin attack then, land immediately.

she'll pop out and attack out of one of the two nearest tentacle pillars, be prepared
>summoning projectiles?
in theory this is the easiest attack to avoid because walking in 1 direction makes them all miss but she will do another attack while the projectiles are still coming and backtracking to dodge her next attack will make you run into one

Its pretty likely that PK could not even picture the way to kill Radiance as it happens in game.

Putting void into vessels, giving form and function to stuff, that's his whole thing. Putting this weird Light God-idea thing into a container to seal it off was probably the best he could manage.
The whole Dream Nail angle only surfaced from The Knight's journeys talking to literally everyone, including Moths (ex acolytes of radiance)

Master weaver undoes the haunting and free everyone, meaning they can return to the atrocious status quo.
Sister of the Void completely demolish the status quo, and give an opportunity to build something better from its ashes.

There is a dark room in Whispering Vaults with a lever at the end, when you flip it they jump out and start spawning everywhere in the Vaults. It's above the Stage on the map but if you go there in Act 3 there is just a bunch of rubble blocking most of it.
And when you do that the second gauntlet will trigger and you can clear it in Act 2 instead of dealing with voided enemies in Act 3.

I like Bilewater, but the game being so punishing takes the fun out of it for me. I think it's cool that the floor ruins and eats your silk, rather than spike or lava you or even damage you. I think it's cool that the two enemies respawn making them more like environmental hazards rather than regular enemies. The fake bench fits lore-wise with how much they hate the citadel, and the real bench is in a location that's comfortable for them to reach. The boss has this mechanic where you can throw stuff in his mouth to damage him (though I think he's pretty boring other than that). Would be cool if the enemies there were immune to the poison damage boost from the poll-pouch.

However, with how punishing the runback is, and having to do an arena before the boss each time, and even those flying muckroaches that can do 4 damage with a single attack cycle, it has really taken out a chunk of my enjoyment of this place.

I don't consider gameplay additions all that good either. Crests would be good if you could swap between two of them on the fly. Healing changes wrecked the soul system. Tools are too braindead and tied to the terrible resource management system.
Clawline is good, but that's it. You could nearly match hornet's speed thanks to one of Knight's charms for running speed without her awkward inertia.

>You're using the worst version of that gun
the other ones don't have the combination of ammo, range and speed this one does.
>boomerang is vastly superior.
travel speed too slow to sneak in hits, ammo is low, feels less reliable to hit flying enemies since it can get caught on ceilings or objects. I'd only consider it superior if I saved all my tools for the last phase of a fight which is unnecessary for either the basic throwing needle or basic silk shot.

Bros, you don't understand. I died about 10 times. I ran into some attacks and even fell off the platform a few times. I couldn't stop thinking about her throughout the fight. I was only able to start getting serious once I started to get bored.

I just got to whispering vaults and I'm doing the top of cogwork core and I don't know where to go next
There's fay mountain I guess but I freeze to death there
I also never went very far into sinner's road, is there anything cool or necessary there
>>
>>539797382
sinner's road has a hidden alt path to act 1
fay mountain is just be fast, but it'll unlock quite a ton of shit
you basically need it if you wanna do anything other than finish the game right now
>>
>>539797382
>There's fay mountain I guess but I freeze to death there
If you have clawline, you're good to go. Hopeful Shakra is there for you.
>There's fay mountain I guess but I freeze to death there
Did you get all three songs? If not, you can do that, if you want.
>I also never went very far into sinner's road, is there anything cool or necessary there
I don't remember, but for one of the pale oils' quest, there's a boss you have to beat there.

In Mount Fay there are torches to recover heat, and you can get double jump

in the high halls there's the third melody, if you want to have the first ending.

Playing Silksong: I dont want to miss content, so I want to know: What part/moment ends act 1 and start second act?
I have yet to fight the boss in the silver bell on the map, and exploring the area near sinner road (Bile Water)
>>
>>539775482
You are right but contrarians arent ready to hear it.
>>
>>539804113
act 1 doesn't have true missable content, things just pop up later so it's handled
>>
>>539804113
Whoa, wait. Beating the boss at that organ place can lead you to Act 2. It's the alternative route to Act 2. Main route is the boss fight at the silver bell. If you don't do either boss fight, then I don't think you can reach Act 2.
>>
>>539804113
Oh, right. Speaking of missable, there's two things I'll mention: the slab and the alt ending. For the first one there's a guy that captures Hornet and jails her. Takes you to the slab and you get to watch naked Hornet in action. Idk if it's missable, but I figure it might be, if he doesn't respawn or if you finish the Slab already via the other route.
For the second, and this is the one I missed, there is an alt ending for beating the "final" boss while cursed. If you cure the curse, or reach the true ending, you'll be locked out of it. You likely don't want to be cursed until right before the final battle though since it's so crippling. Look up cursed crest if you want to know more about the quest line.

She wasn't faking it, she just didn't die. She doesn't value her life at all 'till this very point were something changed after she was said something that shakes her enough to go against her imposed destiny.
Even so, at the very end she still felt hopeless, and this is were Hornet came in swearing she'll rescue her whether she likes it or not. Her last laugh is genuine, filled with happiness. It's at that very point that both princesses fell in love. Whether it'll bloom to a romantic one will depend on Cherry. One thing to keep in mind is that we have been looking at Hornet internal talk hinting at a longing for love and how she gave up on it because she is so long lived... well, here is a magical being that will never die, and it's made of fluff which in her journals bring out her feminine side.

I didn't even finish the first one 'cause I got filtered at some point.
As for this game, similar to the first one, I like the aesthetic. I like how the map looks from the menu. The places in game are nice to look at too. I like how everyone doesn't have a real face and are bugs. Really helps with my autism (I dislike seeing real faces). The music is chill too. It feels essentially perfect to be in.

In terms of game play, for a game where one battles strong enemies or challenges to progress, I feel it falls short when it comes to being fun. As you can guess from someone filtered by HK1, I'm not that good a player, but I still put in work to get better at a game. I can die hundreds of times to get better, and I can enjoy the process. (Picrel is my Titan Souls saves). Silksong, however, doesn't feel supportive of a player getting better. Rather, it punishes for being bad. The long run backs that eat more of your time than the actual boss does, having to do arenas all over when one loses at a special last wave, tools having currency limiting how much one can practice, experiment or fail with them, environmental hazards doing double damage, arenas that don't drop loot. All this stuff makes it tedious for me as I try to improve at the game. Rather than a feeling of "keep trying and git gud", Silksong gives me "Be gud, or give up" feeling. Because of this, I don't feel too favorably about it.

Yeah. You can leave and do other things. The game counts you as beating the boss, it saved after, it's in the hunter's journal. You can go back to exploring other stuff. But there isn't an actual post-game epilogue mode.

Beat Act 3 (Lost Lace)
At the end, I’m feeling like this game wasn’t half as good as Hollow Knight. It was good enough to have me obsessed for 35 hours, but Hollow Knight was on another level.
I wonder if my opinion will change on replay, I bet that 10 of those hours was slamming my head into a brick wall of boss fights

Being able to see everyone's reaction to the world being saved, as well as being able to help out and repair everything that was lost, would be awesome.

>>
>>539830676
In every single Hollow Knight ending you get taken back to before the final boss, there is no extensive conclusion and you just have to infer things. Up until the Silksong true ending people still argued back and forth on if the Knight could even contain the Radiance. None of the endings were 100% conclusive. Silksong is the same with 3 different endings, and its very possible the dlc adds more.

>>539830846
It would have been awesome but I think it would have created a very frustrating situation if they added more Act 3 stuff (particularly if it involved a new ending) that you could be locked out of.
>>
>>539830831
It mogs launch Hollow Knight but I feel like a lot of people dont even remember what launch Hollow Knight was like.
>>
what if Hornet were sexy?
>>
>>539828579
Hallownest is already gone, by the time the Pale King sealed the Hollow knight it wasn't to stop the infection, it was to stop it from spreading further, and when you undo the seals you advance the infection to a point you finished dooming the kingdom, the most you needed to see out of an ending is if hornet survived really and that's what you get
Pharloom is pretty alright when you get there, it's pretty much your fault it got as bad as it is in Act 3, and you never get to talk to all the people you talked to and were worried about the world ending, all the people you personally told you'd save, and worse, Act 3 has only one true ending, the other two act 2 ones are just to show you did something wrong, there's no "open end" it ended, and that's it, you won, you just aren't rewarded for all your effort

I just wonder why she didnt get sweaty and go all out to kill Hornet in the Lace 1 fight. Or in the Citadel confrontation.

The difference is that the Knight as a character is either bound or physically obliterated at the very end, making it so that any further exploration after the final boss would be impossible. Hornet on the other hand is completely fine, and there's no actual reason to stop the game there instead of letting her go around fixing the world.
I can understand the choice from a gameplay perspective, but it honestly felt kind of ass once I realized that's not an option. Here's to hoping DLC answers my prayers.
>>
>>539831991
to be fair I felt the same about HK. It was fun, but I never felt like doing a 2nd run. It'd the just the same without the fun of exploring. The speedrun cheevo is trivial, and steel soul is of no interest to me.
>>
>>539832176
>instead of letting her go around fixing the world.
that's assuming she even wants to. with the Abyss banished, she very well could just walk off and ditch everyone to return to Hallownest.

Maybe that's just her conserving her silk by spending long amounts of time asleep? Would've definitely been nice for her too show up a bit more though.

I wonder what's even the timeline (and distance) between her birth, Hallownest going to shit, HK story and Silksong story.
The surface at the top of SS seems barren but fairly normal, and the desert entrance is presumably normal enough for bugs to carry her cage.
A common theme is that the core of the planet if the void ocean.

>not a single SHAW

But something interesting happened DURING the fight, while standing in the corner hornet suddenly clipped trough the floor, and I could move outside the boss's area, to the point that it forced me to respawn outside the arena and the boss refused to respawn, had to exit, farm blobs to heal me to full, and go back and do all that shit again.

>>539832375
You only get to Act 3 by doing things that prove that Hornet's become attached to Pharloom and their people, so Act 3 wouldn't even happen if she had just wanted to leave at that point.
There's also the fact that she feels guilty about causing so much destruction, so her wanting to fix the consequences of her mistake just makes sense.

I'm still really conflicted on those because they're completely worthless against flying enemies.

It only took me five tries, but Torment Trobbio was still a very annoying boss fight. He just spams so many effects, and can easily trap you if the RNG does not favor you. He went down surprisingly quick when I swapped to the shaman crest. Architect probably would have killed him even faster. Wanderer and Hunter are fucked against him.

I think crest differences are why people are finding some bosses easy while others get filtered. Not all crests are equally good at fighting certain bosses and enemies.

>Not all crests are equally good at fighting certain bosses and enemies.
This was the impression I was getting as well. Unfortunately I committed too hard to a single crest throughout the entire game, and learning a new crest's range/moveset in the heat of a boss battle just isn't all that feasible for me. Definitely going to spend more time experimenting on a second playthrough.

The only tip I can think of for Trobbio is use the needle to smack his fireworks balls away, but Tormented Trobbio tosses out so much shit that it's hard to avoid them anyway.

Where the hell did he get so many explosives and pyrotechnics in the first place?

Isn't he using a modified version of those pimpillo things Hornet has? Imagine the lore implications

Hornet adopts Lace and trains her in combat and hunting.

>training Lace in hunting
>"I am not smelling the poop to track this creature"

Did we ever decide what the new best place to farm in act 3 is? I still need shards.
>>
using one resource for all tools simplifies gameplay, sure, but how does hornet turn shell shards into explosives? and those cogwork flies?
>>
Can the entire map be unlocked in act 2? I see places with breakable walls on the interactive map that I can't actually break, do i need an upgrade or something?
>>

>Can the entire map be unlocked in act 2?
no
>>
>>539854156
There's an Act 3 upgrade that lets you get the last ones
>>
>>539854156
No, half of Far Fields, Lost Verdania, and the Abyss are Act 3 only
>>
>>539850974
I adamently refused to use any other crest but hunter going through act two into three because "I'm playing silk song for Hornet, not a different game with a different character" it'd be like renaming the main character in a jrpg. I just don't do it.

>>539852434
just buy shard bundles from merchants
you do still have a bunch of rosary necklaces from exploring right?
>>
I wonder what the total amount of finite rosary you can get on the map is. Assuming zero loss at all, it must be well into the 20 thousand
>>
>>539855294
Hunter is still near the best crest for most bosses. There's usually a crest that is more optimal, but Hunter is a solid 2nd place, making a good general purpose fighting style. There are only a few bosses that it sucks at, like Tormented Trobbio.

>>539852857
Could change Shards to Scraps and make it so that she does alchemy with plants and bug guts.
>>
>>539854156
Unless TAS or speedrunners find some tech, no.
>>
>>539850974
I did it with hunter and it was kinda easy? Like, it took a century but it was not hard.
>>
i die to almost every boss at least 20 times holy shit
i wish this game had a death counter so i could know for sure just how bad i suck

I did it bros
I saved Lace :')
Such a challenging and fun boss fight. By far the hardest for me in the game. I kept ungabungaing her until it worked
>wanderer
>flintslate
>rape her in the stuns and the phase transitions
>dab on Grand Mother Silk with Hornet's little jig, the needolin, AND a taunt
>clawline in and out never out of danger (cause I'll just facetank the hits and heal)
Seeing the ending where you pick up lace and her mother willingly gives you the last of her Silk so you can escape with her was pretty heart-wrenching man. She did alot of things wrong, but she loved Lace. And when Little Ghost showed up to save Hornet at the very end when the flower lost its power, such a beautiful moment. What an absolutely excellent game.
100% (99%, spiritually, really. Did not beat seth's scores or do the fleatopia delivery)
Just resting in Hornet's Bellhome with the Psalm of Ascendance playing and the encrusted heart beating steadily in the background, Hornet is canonically cuddling with Lace and Sherma after an intense threesome. I cannot wait for the DLC, bros
It's been a pleasure posting with you all
I'll still be around as discussion continues, but I'm taking my much needed break from Silksong
Much love
-anon <3

so why is Lace able to tank getting LOST when everyone else dies to it? demigod privileges?
>>
>>539857762
probably something to do with being made of Silk

I took around that many attempts with hunter though I also spam poison tacks most fights.
